About this property
Cozy Lakeview Chalet
Looking for a unique, peaceful getaway with lake access and rustic charm? This cozy cabin offers just that—a relaxing escape tucked in the countryside, only 2 miles from the small, friendly town of Wadena.
Inside, a spiral staircase leads to a loft with a queen-sized bed—a fun touch, but something to be mindful of, as it may not be suitable for very young children or older guests. The main floor includes a small bedroom with bunk beds and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, making it ideal for families or small groups.
Enjoy the convenience of a full kitchen equipped with a microwave, coffee maker, and glass stovetop. The bathroom features tile flooring and a walk-in shower. Relax in the living room with a comfy couch, oversized chair, and a dining table for meals or games.
Step outside to soak up the serene setting—there’s a spacious wrap-around deck and a set of stairs with a landing that takes you right to the lake. Guests can use the kayaks, rowboat, or canoe provided (life jackets required and included!).
Please note:
The spiral staircase requires caution.
Swimming in the lake is not permitted due to insurance restrictions.
Fishing is catch and release only, using artificial bait to help protect the fish.
Be sure to bring any personal items that will make your stay more comfortable.
This is a self-check-in rental on a gravel road in a rural area—you may encounter local wildlife or the occasional bug.
Your stay is designed to be self-sufficient, without host assistance during your visit.
If you're looking for a fun, off-the-beaten-path experience with character and calm, this is your spot. Thanks for considering our little piece of country charm.

There’s a connected campground on the property with weekend-use campers, so if you have friends with RVs or campers, feel free to invite them along! Guests are welcome to use the kayaks and rowboat provided—life jackets are available as well.
